I'd go back to Muhamed and be like "God wants your women to wear those belly dancing outfits at all times. Here's a recipe for God's special anti sin oil the women should anoint themselves with daily (spf 45 sunblock). Also God wants you to encourage your youths to have premarital sex, but cum on the tits. God also likes drugs and alcohol. ktnxbye"

bluorangefyre:I'd say stop 9/11, but having watched Family Guy, that might be bad. Although, it'd certainly stop the Iraq War since Bush wouldn't have had a blank check dated 9/11/01. He'd have lived up to his father's legacy of being a one-term president. The Tea Party wouldn't exist. Nobody outside of Alaska would've heard the name Sarah Palin. Fake... er, Fox News would probably be grouped with Alex Jones & Co. We'd have had President McCain in '08 (really, nobody would've re-elected President Kerry), but this would've been the John McCain that didn't sell his soul to the Republican Party and he would've ushered in a new era of Republicans: more moderate, less derp. OWS wouldn't have happened, since there'd be no need for it. Right now I'm sure we'd be electing a new President as McCain realized he'd die in term #2, and then we'd be right back to this point of Obama and Romney running neck-and-neck, although Obama would be a bit more seasoned in the Senate. Nobody would be questioning Obama's birthplace since McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which no longer exists as a U.S. territory.

I think Senator Obama is a fine politician, and it's a damn shame he's not eligible to run for the Presidency. So I'd go back to 1961 and plant an American birth certificate for him in Hawaii. Since photoshop didn't exist back then, no-one would suspect it was fake. Just in case anybody did question it, I'd place birth announcements in their newspapers too.

3rotor:Funny how we so wish we could change the past, when we are right here, in the present, having the ability to change the past of our own futures... in essence, we are all time-travelers, we just do not realize it...

Seriously, changing one thing makes it meaningless, since it can be changed. By extension, that means all things could be changed, and the significance of life itself becomes moot.Anyone that goes to the past, I think will simply cease to exist through some mechanism built into the fabric of the universe, sort of like a space-temporal checksum. Yes, I think that the universe has a Reality ECC built in.

"Hey, you're the ones writing Star Trek: X. Here's the finished version. Watch it and keep it as a reminder of what not to do when writing a better movie. And if you don't believe me, this movie was beaten it's opening weekend by a Jennifer Lopez movie."

"Hey George Lucas. That Episode 1 you're writing. Here it is, finished, from the future. Also, here is a guy named Plinket, he reviewed this movie in huge detail. Watch Episode 1, watch the Plinket review, TAKE NOTES, and listen to Plinket."

"Hey, I know you're wanting two more Matrix movies, but...no. Just no."

"Hey, Stephanie, let me help you get that Twilight manuscript to the publisher..." shoots her in the face, whites out her name, puts me name in it's place. "Hello 18 y.o. chicks with no life and MILFy Cougars!!!!"
